The usual toast and jam with a large mug of coffee
It would have. Don't know where the time goes, but by the time I got out the door, there wasn't time for a stop. I thought I might nip over to Bread Garden (across the green from my office) but that hasn't happened either and now it's 10:45. I think I'll just wait for lunch now.Originally Posted by Yosemite
A nice, fresh, chocolate croissant would go well with the coffee.
So far I've had OJ. and am dying for a coffee.
Once DD gets up, or 8:00 comes (whichever is first) we'll be going out for breakie....
I'm hungry this morning LOL.

I have yet to master a hollandaise sauce, so I tend to order this when out
When I was taking cooking classes with Bonnie Stern, I got a wonderful Hollandaise sauce recipe that you make in a blender. You might be able to locate it on her website.
I have a microwave recipe for Hollandaise that I'd share if you want. I wrestled with various other methods for years before finding it, and have not looked back since.
Please do, I'd love to find one that I enjoy....
OK, here goes...Originally Posted by Snake_Lady

The original ingredients:
1/3 to 1/2 cup butter
2 egg yolks
1-4 tablespoons lemon juice
My tweaks: I prefer to use not much more than the 1/3 cup of butter. I use extra large eggs. Because I prefer my Hollandaise not TOO lemony, I use one tablespoon of lemon juice and one of white vermouth, and I add about a teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
Method:
In a 2-cup pyrex measure, soften the butter - 30-45 seconds at 50% power. You want it basically to keep its form, but start to melt a little, and soften to the point where you can work it with a dense whisk. Time depends on lots of things, so start with 30 seconds and adjust from there.
To the softened butter, add the rest of the ingredients, and beat with a small dense whisk until the product just looks like whipped butter. Then process at 50% power in 20 second increments (three or four usually), beating **** out of it in between. You want the surface to be either frothy or satiny, depending on the consistency at the moment, but never oily looking, before you put it back in the m/w. It will be very liquid after the first 20 seconds, and each time thereafter it will cook a bit around the edges and thicken a little, until your desired consistency. Remember that, as it cools, it will thicken a little more.
The cup may get too hot to handle comfortably before you are done. At this point fill a bowl with cold water and just sit the cup in it for 30 seconds or so. That will draw off the heat, so you can proceed. The only real trick with Hollandaise is not to let the emulsion break, and that's not much of a trick, as long as you watch the heat and make sure it's been sufficiently beaten between trips to the m/w.
That's a lot of words for a process that takes maybe as much as 15 minutes from fridge to serving.
i love hollandaise sauce i normally have it for lunch at work though on the weekends.
i take my breakfast to work, in a container i will crush two weetbix pour some soy milk and let them soak up, then i will add 100g of yoghurt and about three to four chopped up fresh strawberries.
on my days off which is monday to wednesday i tend to do nicer breakfast because hubby is also home on a monday, today it will be scrambled and tomatoes on toast as i need to use up the eggs!
